That Apple continues to push its 13-inch MacBook Pro surprises me. When Tim Cook and his team introduce the M3 chipset, the consumer-focused MacBook Pro will be enrolled in the MacBook Air. The sadness is not the continued presence of the MacBook Pro M3, but the lag of those new laptops.
Update: Sunday, July 2: Although the production of the upcoming Apple Silicon chip is cited as the explanation for why the delay, it would possibly have an unforeseen outcome in the joys. Apple is working hard to bring its truly blended formula to developers and consumers alike. Part of this will be combining elements of other operating formulas into hardware and software. This leads to a recently published Apple patent called Visual Object Receptacle: Jack Purcher reports:
“Although the patent numbers seem far exceeded at this point, this is an application patent and not a design patent. Therefore, Apple’s patent figures simply show the fundamental concepts of a 3-D interface and not what the final product will be. With the introduction of Apple Vision Pro, we can now see Apple’s vision of a true 3-D interface for headphones. Giving some shape to a long-term edition of macOS may very well materialize in the long term, hence Apple’s update. “
More inventions will undoubtedly be added to macOS as Apple launches the Vision Pro headset, which was announced for early 2024. There’s a good chance it will come with the new Mac hardware. A touchscreen is expected in the near future, but more hardware to work with realityOS cannot be ignored.
Update: Tuesday, July 4: Interestingly, Apple has quietly removed a spec from the MacBook Air. After the arrival of the 15-inch MacBook Air, eagle-eyed Apple enthusiasts saw its Bluetooth 5. 3. This provides faster, more reliable connections to peripherals and accessories, while being more energy efficient.
It turns out that, without fanfare, the 13-inch style also picked up this update. And if you’re wondering about the 13-inch MacBook Pro, keep asking questions. Apple still bundles its consumer-focused MacBook Pro with the older, slower standard.
Perhaps the M3 style will benefit?

Apple Silicon’s work was presented with the M1 chipset in late 2020 (although it premiered at WWDC that year). The M2 chipset was unveiled eighteen months ago at WWDC 2022, alongside the MacBook Air M2 and the inexplicable 13-inch MacBook Pro.
Step back in time eighteen months ahead and you’ll arrive in late 2023 for the launch of the M3 chipset. Given the announcement about an update to the smaller MacBook Pro, the numbers match, but this single point of information is offset by many others suggesting that while the M3 chipset will be installed in the MacBook Air and a consumer-focused MacBook Pro, they may not appear in any advertising products until early 2024.
Still, the numbers can be read another way, and given Apple’s reluctance to take risks with its launches, the early 2024 date will most likely be for the M3 chipset, which would push back the customer’s new Air and Pro laptops.
Note that the then-unnamed Apple Silicon chipset and switch to ARM away from x86 were announced at WWDC 2020, and the M2 was announced at WWDC 2022. . . Why not the M3 at WWDC 2024 alongside the new client laptops with the M3 chipset?After all, WWDC 2022 saw the M2 MacBook Air and the M2 MacBook Pro.
It also offers the exclusive 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 technology a year on the market before an M3 variant downgrades it. Any investment in MacBook will be significant and no one needs their new computer to be replaced within a few months of purchase.
That the holiday season at the end of the year will be governed by older M2 computers, and a few months later, Apple will update the line of macOS client computers.
